A New President

Barack Hussein Obama, is now the 44th President of the United States of America having been sworn in to the office this afternoon - 20th January 2009.

There is a feeling of elation around the world that there is a black man as President of the USA. After years of struggle, the black people of America can finally see an end to the struggles lasting many years. A proud moment for any nation and people supporting the idea of freedom for its citizens.

There can be only a few moments like this in any lifetime:

"Where were you when President John Kennedy was killed?"






"Where were you when Martin Luther King Jnr was killed?"



"Where were you when Princess Diana was killed?"







For many, this is a dream come true and instead of the above many can proudly say :

"Where were you when Barack Obama was made the 1st black President?"

This is not the end of an American dream, there are many hurdles to climb and paths to run before each and every American can say "We are truly an integrated country."
